Too fabulous. This is why we do photography - to capture moments like the one you're showing.

Actually, I hired DeSoussa. Flew him in from Lisbon just for the job. No way I could have pulled that scene off without the help of a master.

Matt - I found one more pairing: The "grumpy old man with the coffee" and the profile pic of this guy.

And you say it was butthead pawdrix who pointed out the pairings? Have you considered that he may be hiring actors to stage these elaborately improbable street tableaux that you photograph, without your actually being aware of it?

"But why?", I hear you ask. Who knows? Who can say what madness romps unchecked through that tortured mind? I've read Anthony Bourdain; these chef guys are all very strange birds, and they do an awful lot of dope.

Don't be so hard on yourself...i believe you need more photographs providing more incentive to do so first...some of my other work included :(

I'm such an ass and really glad Ubique is here to point that out. ;)

I was more wrapped up in knowing where this was taken (Coney or the Rockaways) to even notice the pairings. I need to get my head out of my butt and start looking a little more.

Really, really nice. Cheers and congrats on your well earned Thumb.

I agree 100% about both comments. This is a great photo!
